In this tenth week of our “Bible in 100 Passages” journey, we are exploring the prophets.

Today we specifically focus on the prophet Amos, who told the people that if they think they are following God’s will, they have failed. They have focused on the ritual of looking faithful rather than actually being faithful.

Matt Helms continues our weekly “Rhythm and Word”  reflections on texts in our “Bible in 100 Passages” journey.

In this ninth week, we are exploring the fracturing of the kingdom. In this divided time, we see the rise of the countercultural voice of the prophets, who are often the lone dissenters to kings. How can these prophets give us courage to be truth-tellers in our own contexts?
